"Want to see a general with more brains and less gold braid and medals?"

Funny thing; the supreme commander of the victorious allied forces in Europe in World War II has so few medals compared to a press liaison officer.
Just imagine, if that joker went on parade wearing the actual medals instead of just the ribbons he'd be bent double.

Something tells me the general wont worry too much about your biting comments....LOL

Medals mean nothing. Results matter. Seems to me we are mostly in control in Iraq and Afghanistan, despite having to travel men and equipment from thousands of miles away. Meanwhile the insurgent jokers can barely feed themsevles and hold onto their own villages. PATHETIC.

You remind me of an Everly Brothers song, flem -
"Dream, dream, dream,
dream, dream, dream."

Wonder when the Afghans and Iraqis will MANUFACURE their own ships, planes and tanks? Can you say NEVER?

Our technological lead on such backward and anachronistic societies like those in Iraq and Afghanistan is literally in the thousands of years. Should we be worried about them "catching up? LOL

You may enjoy fantasizing and bloviating about our undoing and decline. The truth is, while it may EVENTUALLY come, you (and I) will be long, long dead by the time it does. So really, why make a fuss about something you will never see and never realize? Its like getting worked up about time travel. (but of course if that ever does happen, it will be the west/US behind the science! HAHAHA)

Yes, the Afghans really need those ships.
Your claim that brown-skinned people are a thousand years behind the white massa doesn't become more believable if you keep repeating it.
You're beginning to tire me, flem. Does the expression "Strike one" suggest anything?

OK Jemmy, why dont you address the issue instead of making smart aleck comments?

Skin color is irrelevant. CULTURE is everything.

Tell me which culture is more technologically advanced? West vs East. Or, tell me, how many years behind are the "brown people" relative to the "white massa"? If you say they are equal, then I say you are not making a genuine effort.

It also doesnt become false if you keep denying it.

Show me any one technological area where the "brownines" and the "whities" are equally advanced. Just one will do.

Or, instead, just call me racist again. That "old reliable" will surely work yet one more time!
